Slightly sad to see that "ask man about emacs" didn't work. I was pretty amused by the "Don't know anything about that" when queried about "open source", though.<p>"look at tunnel" should work after opening the tunnel.<p>I love the background changes.<p>Why does "get container" not work? The response didn't give a reason.<p>"Welcome to the developer console; you were kind of expected." made me laugh.<p>...why can I deploy the beard?<p>The music at the end was unexpected.
Man, that took me back to a simpler time.<p>I for one loved the green on black. But thats probably because I actually used green on black terminals back in my youth...<p>Gj Carl-Petter and Juha!
Awesome, nice work! I love the retro CRT look.<p>For folks that haven't played text adventures in a long time, check out the annual interactive fiction competition winners for some great modern ones: <a href="http://www.ifcomp.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.ifcomp.org</a>. They're meant to be played in about an hour, have hints, and usually don't rely on cheap deaths or other frustrating tropes of old games.
The ancient cloud guru URL thing.. a proxy here in the way stripped out the answer, I had to curl through tor. go figure.<p>edit: just finished. I laughed at some bits, all in all I enjoyed it. I facepalmed when I realised I needed chmod (which I had to look at jsbeautified app.js to get the hint - I was trying su/sudo!).
<i>help</i> Totally stuck on the Javascript declaration. Tried <i>eval</i> and <i>call</i> and <i>apply</i><p><i>EDIT</i> Oh, I'm expected to "cheat." Cute. :)<p><i>question</i> Looking at the source, how does the solution to the robot puzzle actually get activated?<p><i>EDIT</i> Oh, it's a direct string comparison. Okay.<p><i>bug</i> If I try to get the man, I'm told<p>"You can't see no man here"<p><i>bug</i> I can't cut-and-paste the hashed password. That sucks.<p><i>bug</i> "disintigrates"<p><i>bug</i> I can't cut-and-paste the ascii code. There is no way I am typing all that in by eye.<p><i>bugfix</i> If I highlight the code and then right-click before letting go of the mouse I can copy
I absolutely love it. For the last LD I did a terminal-style game too, but it wasn't nearly as good.<p><pre><code> Forces the solution. You may need to use this if it fails without it.

What's that Unix command line switch déjà vu I'm having there...
This is just a pet peeve of mine. I don't understand why you ask "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when I click back, or try to close the tab. I am sure - that's why I tried to leave.<p>edit: fixed typo
I tried to `ask richard stallman about gnu`, among other things, but it wouldn't work.<p>Also, I'd stop the blurring effect after a while, that really grated on me. I'd love to have time to try it properly.
Did anybody really understand how to do the javascript thing? Up to now I've only read about people cheating.<p>edit:<p>/SPOILER<p>literally the moment I clicked "send" on this comment I thought about using the console to execute some javascript... welll.
Is it normal for text adventures you just have to try random stuff?<p>I had no clue how to get design.
I thought I had missed a clue from the developer maybe.
Turned out I just needed to enter a command that was not introduced before, or listed in the help page.
